REGARDING STOCK DIVIDENDS.
Scranton Capitalists Win mi Import
ant l-'ight at Ilnrrlsburg.
Major Everett AVarren yesterday filed
In the otllce of Recorder Charles Ileus
ter the charter for the Citizens1 AVater
company, of Phllllpsburg, Center coun
ty, Pa., of which Joseph J. Jermyn,
John S. Mears and other local capital
ists are tho stockholders.
This Is the charter against which tho
Phllllpsburg AVater company through
Senator McCoiwell of Harrlsburg, made
a protest, because the present company
had not yet relinquished Its light to an
exclusive franchise, not having divided
among its stooholders a dividend of
eight per cent, for five years. The Har
rlsburg correspondent of the Philadel
phia Press yesterday had ' this to say
of the matter:
Seetotury Reeder lias deckled a ques
tion ifgurdliiK stock dividends that has
never been adjudicated in the state de
partments or the courts of the state.
It relates to a favorite method many
Pennsylvania corporalons have of re
taining their exclusive franchise by in
creasing tlu-lr capital stock in order to
avoid paying their dividends which would
have amounted to mote than S per cent.
The act of Apiil 20, 1871, confers exclu
sive franchise upon gas and water com
panies until the corporation lias reulized
and divided among Its stockholders a
dividend of 8 per cent, for five years upon
Its capital stock.
An application was made by Scranton
capitalists for a water company chart.!!
in the borough of Phllllpsburg, against
which tho Phllllpsburg Water company
lodged a protest on the ground that it
had exclimtvo franchise.
It was shown at a hearing before Sec.
rotary Reeder that tho old company had
paid in dividends in fifteen years 83 per
cent., and in stock dividends, represent,
lug surplus earnings expended for the
Improvement and betterment of the plunl,
.7,000.
Tho company's attorney contended that
these stock dividends wero in reality in
vestments by tho stockholders and could
not bo taken into consideration in esti
mating the profits of tho concern for the
purpose of terminating Its exclusive fran.
chlse.
The secretary decided that whether the
dividends weio declared In stock or In
cash, they wero tho profits realized by
tho stockholders upon their original In.
vestment, and had precisely the Bame
legal effect as though declared In cash.
The protest was overruled)

INTENSE SUITOUNG.
From Dyspepsia mul Stomach
Trou bit:.
Instantly Ucllcvcd and Permanently Cured by
Stuart1 DyspeyMa Tablets.
A New
Discovery, but Not u
Medicine.
Patent
Dr. Rodwoll relates an Interesting nc
cotint of what he considers a remark
able cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the now
discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Ho says: The patient was a man
who had suffered to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia. Everything ho
ate seemed to sour and create acid and
gasos In the stomach; he had pains like
rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and distress
nfter eating, poor appetite and loss of
llesh; the heart became affected, caus
ing palpitation und sleeplessness at
night.
I gave him powerful nerve tonics nnd
blood remedies, but to no purpose. As
un experiment T finally bought a fifty
cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gnve them
to iilin. Almost Immediate relief was
given nnd after he had used four boxes
ho was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the nppetlte was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and 12 pounds In
weight of solid, healthy llesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised nnd sold In drug stores
yet I consider them a most valuable
